Solar works in Oregon. Just ask the nearly 30,000 Oregonians who have installed solar panels to produce their own clean energy and shrink electricity bills. Here are some things to consider first.
- Your roof: Solar works best on a roof that captures plenty of sun, with east, south or west-facing slopes, and not a lot of shade. Make sure your roof is in good condition and doesn’t first need repair or replacement. Depending on your property, a ground-mounted system might be an option.
- Energy efficiency: Does your home need insulation, new windows or a new heating system? Energy efficiency is a good first step because more energy-efficient homes require fewer solar panels, which saves on system costs. Energy Trust offers cash incentives for energy-saving home upgrades, including extra savings for income-qualified customers.
- Battery storage: Consider if you want to add smart battery storage to make the most of your solar. Solar + storage means you will have backup power for lights and other essentials during outages. Energy Trust offers cash incentives for battery storage as well as solar.
